Selections are widely used in Gimp. Select something to work only on that, to cut or copy it, to move it around.
In this show I cover the “fuzzy select tool”, the “select by colour tool”, the “intelligent scissors” and the “foreground select tool”.
I hope you had not too much trouble with the feed change…

Once you have made your selection, try applying selective sharpening.
Selections pair naturally with layer fundamentals.
